Russia launched their largest ever missile and drone strike on Ukrainian cities last night and sadly an F-16 and its pilot was lost last night. Russia's finance minister and central bank chief are sounding the alarm that Russia is heading for a sever economic recession unless conditions are changed.

Love this guy: @brianschatz This bill is a real piece of shit it and it would be excellent if that’s all anyone talked about for the next few days. Super interested in your think piece about the NYC mayor’s race but let’s get to that after we try to stop biggest wealth transfer in American history.

Actually what Americans just saw today was a prominent Republican US Senator announce he is quitting because he knows this budget is going to hurt millions of people and he was repeatedly threatened by the president and his cult for telling the truth about it.

Lots of Republicans are going to lose their seats over this budget - federal, state, and local. It will not cost Trump anything, other than finally some House oversight his last 2 years maybe. Which is how these things always go with Trump - others always pay for his sins.

I think it’s a great idea for Republicans to nominate Lara Trump for the open NC senate seat. Just like it was a great idea to nominate Herschel Walker, Dr. Oz, Kelly Loeffler, Kari Lake, Joe Kent, Scott Brown, Mark Robinson, Doug Mastriano, Winsome Sears, Tudor Dixon, on and on.

Amazingly, some news organizations are still using the term "fiscal hawk" to describe Republicans who are professing concern about the Trump bill adding $3.3 trillion to the debt. If those Republicans vote for the bill in the end, at that point can we stop calling them that?

Baldwin: I remember my cross-examination of Secretary Kennedy from HHS, and he said, “We will have radical transparency.” But what they’ve actually had is radical opaqueness. They never answer a letter. They never answer a question. It’s one of the ways that democracy begins to degrade—

Yesterday Trump threatens to withhold aid to Israel unless the court reverses their decision to move forward with Netanyahu’s trial. Today Israeli court reverses their decision and postpones it. What a joke.

"These aren’t just your usual, run-of-the-mill GOP tax cuts. They’re worse. They’re the most redistributive tax cuts in modern American history, and by redistributive, I don’t mean from the top down. I mean to the top from the rest of us." https://trib.al/VpbY1JO

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.

A nice reminder of the immense power contained in saying “no.” When people refuse to comply, it raises the costs ($$$, political, social, etc) of enforcing authoritarianism. They very well might try anyway, but every person that says “no” is another point of friction. www.npr.org/2025/06/28/n...

New Senate bill is a fossil fuel feeding frenzy, worse for clean energy than even the House bill, and will dramatically INCREASE people’s utility bills.
